A kinky dream

I was walking down a street in an unfamiliar place. There was a big pond beside the road, and some houses next to it. As I was walking, I saw a boy looking at me and saying, "Hey uncle!" I was surprised and asked, "Do you know me?" He said, "I'll figure it out." I asked, "What's your name?" He said, "Help me, brother." I said, "Who are you? Why aren't you introducing yourself? How can I help you?" He said, "Come with me." For some reason, I agreed and started walking with him.

We were walking on the dirt path beside the pond. Suddenly, the boy started running. I said, "Hey, wait!" He kept running faster. I chased after him, trying to catch him, but suddenly stopped. To my surprise, I found myself at my grandmother's house. Robind saw me and said, "Let's go play football!" I didn't respond. He held my hand and said, "If we win today, I'll buy everyone a liter of Coke and 100 taka each." I said, "Let's go then."

When we arrived, the game had already started. I asked, "Why did you start without me?" Robind's friend said, "When did you arrive? Wait, I'll substitute you in." My cousin said, "It's my turn." His friend said, "We'll deal with you later." I asked, "What's the score?" The friend said, "Zero-zero, it's just started." He called someone and substituted me in. The friend said, "You play up front, brother." I said, "Okay."

As I was playing, someone kicked the ball, and I stopped it with my foot. I was about to kick it when I felt myself falling. My nephew, Durjoy, pulled me up and said, "Come quickly!" I asked, "What's wrong?" Durjoy said, "Look behind you." I turned around and saw a girl pinching my nose. I asked, "Who are you?" She said, "Don't you recognize me?" Just then, someone said, "Hey, what's going on?" And with that, I woke up.

I woke up to find sunlight streaming through my room window. I sat up in bed and wondered, "Was it a dream? Why did it feel so real?" Suddenly, I remembered the girl who had pinched my nose. Who was she?

I got up, freshened up, and went downstairs. Breakfast was ready. Mom asked, "Why did you wake up so late?" I said, "Yeah, mom, it got a bit late."

While eating, I kept thinking about the rest of the dream. Why did that boy take me to grandma's house? And who was that girl?

I decided to visit grandma's house today. Maybe I'll find some answers there.

When I arrived at grandma's house, everyone was busy. Robind said, "Hey, when did you come? Let's play football." I said, "Yeah, let's go, just wait a minute."

I asked grandma, "uncle, does any unfamiliar boy come here?" Uncle asked, "Why, what kind of boy?" I said, "A little boy, he called me 'brother'."

Grandma thought for a moment and said, "Oh, you're talking about that boy? He was a boy from this house. About a year ago, in an accident..." Grandma stopped.

Robind came and said, "Hey, let's go play." I said, "Yeah, let's go."

When I went to play football, I saw that girl standing there. I went near her and asked, "Who are you?" The girl smiled and said, "You didn't recognize me in your dream, will you recognize me now?"

Suddenly, I remembered, this girl is related to that boy. I said, "You... you're that boy's sister?" The girl smiled and said, "Yes, I'm his sister."

That's when everything started to become clear.

Do you want me to take the story further?The girl said, "My brother was a good boy. He loved you a lot. He passed away about a year ago in an accident."

I asked, "But why did he take me with him? And why did you pinch my nose?"

The girl smiled and said, "My brother missed you a lot. That's why he wanted to take you with him. And I pinched your nose to wake you up."

I was surprised and said, "How? I don't even know you guys."

The girl said, "You've forgotten. We used to play together when we were kids. My brother loved you a lot."

Suddenly, I remembered, yes, I knew them. We used to play together when we were kids.

The girl said, "My brother wanted to see you. That's why he brought you in your dream."

I said, "Okay, I understand. But what should I do now?"

The girl smiled and said, "You don't need to do anything. My brother is at peace now. You take care."

I said, "Alright. You guys take care too."

The girl smiled and disappeared. I was left alone, but I felt a sense of peace in my heart.
